zindagi ko jab bhi gale lagana chaha

zindagi ko jab bhi gale lagana chaha,
ghamon ne khushi se door rakhna chaha. 

pyar se jab unko apnaa banaa chaha,
bewafai ne dilko bar-bar tordna chaha. 

khuli aasman mein jab bhi urdna chaha,
kaale badalon ne raasta rokna chaha. 

dard jhel kar bhi khush rehna chaha,
zakhmon ko sabne kuredna chaha. 

har mukaam ko jab paar karna chaha,
apno ne hi piche dhakelna chaha. 

har mehfil mein rang jamana chaha,
doston ne cherd kar tamasha banana chaha. 

jab bhi musibaton se lardna chaha,
takdeer ne hathiyaar hi cheen lena chaha. 

haar ke zindagi se jab mar jana chaha,
to maut ne humein zinda rakhna chaha.
